From Igloos To The Internet: The Inuit In The 21st Century With Pita Aatami

February 11, 20109:00 a.m.

There are no roads to Nunavik, the northern region of Quebec, Canada. Snowmobiles and dogsleds are the primary means of transportation. There are only 14 villages, though the land is larger than California. In 2007, the Inuit of Nunavik agreed to create a regional government. Pita Aatami joins us from Nunavik.

We thank these members for their ongoing support of the UArctic website:

UArctic builds and strengthens collective resources and collaborative infrastructure that enables member institutions to better serve their constituents and their regions.
